■The Oregon golf teams face
adversity on day one of their
tourneys, but both may have
hope for their final rounds
By Peter Hockaday
Oregon Daily Emerald
It is a familiar situation for Jeri
lyn White.
She is carrying her team, again.
She shot a low first-round score,
again. She slipped in the second
round, again.
She still man
aged to finish
in the top-20
golfers, again.
White is
leading the
Oregon
women’s golf team at the Verizon
“Mo” Morial in Houston, Tex., af
ter one day. White stands 11th,
while the Ducks are ninth of 17
teams.
White shot a two-over par 72 to
open the tournament at the Pine
Forest Country Club, then shot a
79 in Monday’s afternoon round.
Oregon’s Dawn Berry shot a
combined 157 to finish 27th,
while Kathy Cho shot a 163 to fin
ish 55th, Lacy Erickson finished
57th, Julia Smith finished 65th
and Megan Heckeroth finished
71st.
The Ducks will play a final
round of 18 holes today.
Men rained out
The Oregon men’s golf team’s
round was cut short when rain
clouds appeared at the Cleveland
Golf Classic Monday.
The Ducks were tied for 11th
out of 15 teams at the tournament
in Westlake Village, Calif., when
the rain shortened the day’s play
from two rounds to one. The
teams are scheduled to make up
the round today, but continuing
storms may cancel the tournament
altogether.
Oregon senior Matt Genovese
led the Ducks Monday with a two
over par 74, good enough for 13th
place. Oregon’s Aaron Byers fin
ished 21st, while Brandon Ham
den finished 38th, Chris Carnahan
finished 66th and T.J. Duncan fin
ished 80th.
The Ducks are trying to repeat
their performance at the Taylor
Made/Waikoloa Invitational last
month, where they finished fourth
overall.
“I would rather have our guys
come out and fight and play their
way through this,” Oregon head
coach Steve Nosier said. “We
don’t deserve to get bailed out that
easy [from the weather].”
Runge
continued from page 1
tling and private matters being aired
out in the media when they had not
been addressed on a one-on-one ba
sis.”
Moos, who is on a week-long
fundraising trip in Palm Springs,
skid the Ducks had wanted to keep
the meeting private.
“The players did not want coach
Runge to know they were meeting
with me,” Moos said. “There was a
certain degree of fear that they
might be reprimanded if they had
gone around her back. ”
Sunday’s meeting was the latest
in a series of dramatic incidents in
volving the women’s team this sea
son. Most recently, Runge suspend
ed star forward Angelina Wolvert
for not shaking hands with UCLA
players after the Ducks’ loss against
the Bruins, then lifted the senior’s
suspension when Oregon was
down 20-8 two days later in a game
at Southern California.
Earlier this season, Runge called
in a team psychologist and would
n’t allow the Ducks to wear their
uniforms at an early-February prac
tice when the team was in a 1-7
slump. The coach also had a run-in
with the media in January, when
she didn’t show up for her first
weekly television broadcast on
KEZI because of a contract dispute.
The players’ meeting with Moos
comes at a time when the Ducks’
season is starting to turn around.
Oregon has won four of its last five
contests — two against teams that
were leading the Pac-10 when the
Ducks knocked them off — and is
on the verge of possibly making the
NCAA Tournament for the eighth
straight time if it can defeat the
Beavers this Saturday.
Three nights ago, Wolvert said
she had no ill feelings towards
Runge.
“Everybody thinks that I’m
pissed off about coach Runge and
what-not,” she said after the Ducks
upset Arizona, 83-78. “But that’s not
the case. Things happen, it’s done
with, and I don’t think it needs to be
blown out of proportion any more.”
